The man who has luck in the morning has luck in the afternoon

Don't make little of your dish for it may be an ignorant fellow who judges it

Men are like bagpipes - no sound comes from them until they are full

Though wisdom is good in the beginning, it is better at the end

For a young man contemplating marriage: That you might have nicer legs than your own under your table before the new spuds are up

The old person is a child twice

What butter and whiskey won't cure, there is no cure for

Marriages are all happy. It's having breakfast together that causes all the trouble

Many a sudden change takes place on a spring day

Get down on your knees and thank God you're still on your feet

God made time, but man made haste

An old broom knows the dirty corners best

Show the fatted calf, but not the thing that fattened him

You can't kiss an Irish girl unexpectedly. You can only kiss her sooner than she thought you would

Wide is the door of the little cottage

A whistling woman and a crowing hen will bring no luck to the house they are in

Don't be breaking your shin on a stool that's not in your way

It's why women marry - the creatures, God bless them, are too shy to say no

Never scald your lips with another man's porridge

God is good, but never dance in a small boat
